Where is the point where you should be able to protect your interests against nameless huge entities?

Is it based on your flat income or on how many times the cost of your labor they make off you?

Unions do more than just negotiate wages and benefits. I imagine some of these other functions may be desirable to Google employees
Having sexual harassment allegations against executives taken seriously was an example. Ensuring that you can’t be fired for unionizing is another.
i'm with grumple. over half of Google's CEOs and founders have been charged with sexual misconduct and worse. schmidt should be in jail.
Isn't Google's name Google? I'm not a fan of huge corporate entities as much as the next guy, but none of them are nameless.

Did you mean: Faceless?

Perhaps what you're saying is a better way of expressing it, but I meant nameless as in being able to put a name to a specific form, identifying it. I think most corporations don't even have a name anymore. It's X (Google for example) until it rebrands to Y (Alphabet in that case), then it's one of their acquisitions that you're working for, then it's one of the companies they use to avoid having you be associated with them and demand equal benefits or whatever etc.
